We're a small team of repeat founders and seasoned operators on a big mission to simplify planet-positive investing and put power in the hands of impact investors at a scale never seen before. The next generation of tools we are building use AI to interact with the world of sustainability data (large language models like ChatGPT). This is a highly specialist crew with a decade or more of relevant experience in the domains of machine learning and climate finance.

Some of the companies we started, (e.g. Secondmind), scaled to 100+ people and millions in revenue, published extensively in key academic journals in machine learning, and won national awards. We also have extensive industry networks, published works, and numerous advisory and working group seats in climate and sustainable finance.

We're looking for people to play a foundational role on this big mission:

- Mid-Senior Backend Engineer (Python)

- (Research) ML Engineer (LLMs)

- Others (opportunistic, including internships)

We have raised our pre-seed round from top European climate-focused investors (Pale Blue Dot & Frontline Ventures) and we have only just publicly announced the company in September! We've always built high-performing teams where everyone is excited to come to work for the team and to make an impact on the mission. Further details are available on our Notion job page (link at the start) and our website!

I'm the CEO and co-founder — if interested, drop me an email (aleksi@) or email our jobs email (jobs@). It'll come to me either way! :)

Striime teams up with small and medium freight forwarders (think travel agents for cargo) to accelerate their outstanding customer focus with cutting-edge AI technology. Together, we're building the world's most customer-friendly freight forwarder. Our partners shine in relationship-building but often drown in paperwork and data shuffling. Striime’s AI copilot removes the toil from their workflow so that they can focus on their customers and partners.

Hi, I’m one of the founders of Nooks — we’re trying to re-invent how sales teams work with real-time collaboration and AI.

Nooks is: - A virtual office: you can work from anywhere in the world, but still work with your team and get feedback and coaching like you’re sitting side-by-side. - and an AI co-pilot. We learn how your team works, identify “winning” strategies behaviors, then share them with the whole team during and after calls!

We’re working on fun engineering challenges including complex distributed systems, low-latency algorithms & infrastructure, and modeling sales calls with large language models. You'll also have the chance to make a huge impact on our customers (sales reps who spend 80% of their work day on Nooks.)

Right now we’re a small team (~25 ppl) growing super quickly - doubling revenue every quarter, and recently hit $2M ARR!

Looking for experienced engineers who love tackling difficult product questions and working closely with customers. Excitement about language models, few-shot learning and other recent AI advances is also a plus :)

I’d love to chat: reach me at nikhil [at] nooks.in or apply at the link below: https://nooks.breezy.hr/p/bbc06c1a1bb4-software-engineer

I'm one of the founders of Actively. We're building best-in-class machine learning and LLM-powered scoring for outbound sales teams. Our first product lives in Salesforce, ingests data from a variety of sources (firmographics, intent signals, marketing interactions, and prior engagement, including unstructured call transcripts, email chains, and notes), and combines LLMs with structured models to tell sales reps who they should reach out to each day (and why) to be laser-focused.

Our paying customers are fast-growing unicorns you've definitely heard of with large outbound sales motions, where the reps use us to target their outbound every day. Our thesis is that scoring (a known/"need to have" part of the stack -- but able to be done 10x better with LLMs because you can incorporate the goldmine of unstructured engagement data) is the right wedge into building the intelligence-driven outbound sales stack of the future that _actually works_ for large companies that need to generate millions of dollars in pipeline each quarter. Unlike most other companies in the space, we are explicitly building for companies of this scale and have them using our product today "in production."

We started with the vision of bringing AI to every business team, and have since narrowed down to focus on outbound sales teams who have a bunch of attractive properties (there are a _ton_ of them out there, they all use the same stack, the data is consolidated in one place, lift is measurable and directly touches the top line, etc.).

We're a team of 6 working in-person in NYC with a team from Scale/Waymo/Google/etc. (including some very senior folks) and looking to bring on another engineer as we start scaling our customer base. If you have at least a few years of experience, are highly entrepreneurial / excited to work closely with customers + dig in across the business, and are excited to work on some combination of LLMs/data infra/across the stack, we would love to chat: mihir [at] actively.ai!
